Some injuries of the bone are dislocation, fracture, and a sprain. Also osteoporosis and arthritis.
Dislocation: The end of a bone comes out of it's joint
Fracture: A break in a bone
Sprain: When ligaments are stretched too far
Osteoporosis: Bones become weak and break easily
Arthritis: Disease of the joints that makes movement painful
Ways to identify them:
When you get hurt and you don't know what's wrong usually
you can go to the doctors and get the injury X-Ray to see the bone. There is
also MRI's that let you see soft tissue as well.
Ways to treat them:
Dislocation: Sometimes the doctor can put in back in, other times surgery is needed.
Fracture: Only time and a cast can heal this injury.
Sprain: This injury needs to be left alone and have pressure kept off of it.
Osteoporosis: There's no real way to cure osteoporosis. If you eat plenty of calcium you can help prevent it.
Arthritis: Only surgery can fix this injury. During surgery they replace the natural joint with an artificial joint.
Functions of the Skeletal System: A- It provides shape and support B- Enables you to move C- Protects your organs D- Produces blood cells E- Stores minerals until your body needs them
